Thanks to all of you who participated in GAPS Friendly Fridays last week!
I decided to create GAPS Friendly Fridays because there are a lot of great GAPS, SCD, Paleo, and Real Food bloggers out there with GAPS legal recipes! You don’t have to be on the GAPS diet to participate, but recipes that you post should be GAPS Legal.
If you have an SCD or Paleo recipe, it is most likely GAPS Legal or can very easily be modified to fit into the GAPS diet! The short version is that GAPS legal recipes are:
- All real food – no pre-processed ingredients
- Grain-Free (even alternate grains like quinoa and amaranth are excluded)
- Starchy veg free (no potatoes of any kind)
- The only sweeteners used are honey and fruit
- Only use aged cheeses such as parmesan, gouda, or cheddar, not fresh cheeses such as mozzarella or ricotta
- Adheres to the Weston A. Price Foundation’s principles.
The featured post from last week is Caroline of Gutsy’s guest post on Holistic Kid: Do You Have the Guts to Do the GAPS Diet? Because she gives a nice, quick overview of why you might want to try GAPS and, well, who doesn’t love a kid blogger?
If you’re unsure about a recipe, go ahead and email me at joy@theliberatedkitchenpdx.com and ask! I’m more than glad to check it out and suggest modifications if needed.
Don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to recipes, though! We also love to see book reviews, cooking tips and strategies, recovery and/or setback stories, etc. Anything you think will help other folks on the GAPS diet is welcome.
A couple of rules:
- Please link back to this post somewhere in the body of your post.
- Make sure you post a link to your post, not to the front page of your blog.
- Leave a comment saying what you’ve shared!
Thanks for participating! Please share on facebook, twitter, or wherever else you like!

now I am wondering if i could even add my recipe, are sweet potatoes not OK?
Sweet potatoes are not GAPS legal. It’s ok to include recipes with some GAPS *Un*friendly ingredients if you make a note explaining how to make the recipe GAPS legal.
Thanks for hosting! I have included three of my favorite recipes for this time of year: Pumpkin Bread, Coconut Milk Pumpkin Pie Custard and Pumpkin Coconut Smoothie. All delicious and so wonderful when everywhere you look there is pumpkin this or pumpkin that!
Hi, thanks for hosting…and for featuring Caroline’s guest post at Holistic Kid last week
! This week I’m linking up a recipe for Easy Crock Pot Chicken Soup with Roasted Veggies. Use seasonal veggies and herbs (whatever you have on hand)and skip the dairy topping for a frugal, easy and delicious GAPS friendly meal.
Have a great day!
Thanks for hosting! I linked up my recipe for pumpkin bread and also Sauerkraut.
